QA / Test Automation Engineer

Power Tech Nexus · Product Engineering

We are looking for a QA / Test Automation Engineer to make sure every release across web, mobile and API is one we trust. You will build the automated test suites and release gates that let a small team ship often without breaking things, including for AI features, whose outputs vary from run to run.

At a Glance

• Location: India (preferred), hybrid; other locations considered
• Employment type: Full-time, permanent
• Openings: 1
• Reports to: Director of Products
• Role type: Hands-on individual contributor; not a people-management role
• Hiring entity: Power Tech Nexus Private Limited
• Working hours: Shifted India hours with at least 4 hours' daily overlap with Australian (Melbourne/Brisbane) business hours, typically around 7:30am–4:30pm IST, adjusted for Australian daylight saving.

About Power Tech Nexus

Power Tech Nexus is the product company of the Power Tech group. We build and run our own AI-driven software products for businesses in Australia and the region. We are a small team growing deliberately, so every hire shapes how the product and the engineering practice turn out.

What you will do

• Build and maintain automated end-to-end tests for web (Playwright) and mobile (Flutter integration tests)
• Build API and contract tests for backend services
• Run tests in GitHub Actions as release gates, and keep the suites fast and reliable
• Wire the AI engineers' evaluation suites into the release gates, and add regression checks that tolerate harmless variation in AI output
• Run exploratory testing before major releases
• Report defects clearly and track quality trends

Technical Requirements

Must-have

• Three or more years in test automation for web applications
• Strong Playwright (or Cypress) in TypeScript or JavaScript
• API and contract testing for REST services, with test data management
• Automated suites running as CI gates (GitHub Actions or similar), including finding and fixing flaky tests
• Mobile test automation, ideally Flutter integration tests (or Appium or Maestro)
• Clear defect reports a developer can act on without follow-up questions

Desirable

• Testing LLM or AI features: evaluation sets and checks for non-deterministic output
• Performance or load testing (k6 or similar)
• Security testing basics (OWASP Top 10)
• Vitest or Jest unit testing
• ISTQB or similar

Who you will work with

• Senior AI Engineers: own the AI evaluation datasets and metrics; you own the gates they run in
• Functional tester and BAs: cover functional and user acceptance testing; you own automation
• Developers: own unit and widget tests

How we work

• Small, senior team with a short path from idea to production
• AI-assisted engineering is part of the daily workflow, not an experiment
• Azure-first, with AWS where a product needs it. All infrastructure is code (Bicep or Terraform), changed through reviewed pull requests in GitHub, never by hand in the portal
• Security is built in from the start: we are ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and are implementing ISO/IEC 42001 for AI management
• Done means deployed and verified running, not merged
• We write things down: runbooks, decisions and handovers
